On Tuesday, November 22, 2022, the Supreme Court of Missouri ordered the reinstatement with probation of St. Louis attorney James C. Robinson.
The case is styled In re: James C. Robinson and was brought by the Chief Disciplinary Counsel, under case #SC98981.
On April 4, 2017, the Court suspended Robinson from the practice of law in the state of Missouri and that no application for reinstatement shall be entertained for a period of one year from the date of the Order.
